Working 40+ hrs a week is wonderful for paying bills, buying groceries, living, etc. But it is horrible when it comes to cleaning the house, keeping up on laundry, gardening, etc. It’s also horrible when it comes to finding time to read, finish knitting projects, taking the kids on outings, etc.
If Jamie and I worked the same schedule, it would be much easier. But my split shift hours and his 3rd shift hours do not mix well at all. They are great hours for being w/ the kids, but not so much for getting anything done.
If I had a whole week home with no where to be but here, I would clean the house, declutter more, paint the walls, remodel the bathroom, mow the yard….who am I kidding?? I would cuddle up with a good book, a set of needles and a ball of yarn!
Now time for some assistance….
What book are you reading? I need a good book or series to read… I am not finding any satisfaction in much lately. If I can’t get into it by the first few pages, or even first chapter, I move on. I need something captivating, deep, intense…a few light and fluffies are good for mindless knitting time and relaxing with, but I am in the need of having my mind invaded by the penned characters of a good read.
